Redirection

See the initial plan was to dedicate these blogs to art as it pertains to fashion, then somewhere in queue I re-routed to a new destination, which isn't quite so final. And here's where I am, the place where I realized that people are oblivious to what's going on in the world. We turn stations when the news come on, pass newspapers for fashion magazines and the gossip colums, turn to page 23 in the daily news to read your horoscope, and never took the time to see that soldiers are dying in Iraq; that there are seven foot pythons in New York's apt building with heads popping up in toilet bowls. That the economy is failing, gas prices are raising, Milk is now $4.19 per gallon, the twister on the KFC menu is now $0.20 cents more. Really though when did we get so cold? We stopped caring about our neighbours, we don't feel for others, just ourselves. I guess I got redirected when I realized that a 14 year old boy is suicidal. Where will your wake up call alarm sound from?
